NEW DELHI: Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya admitted his side was “searching for answers” after yet another heavy defeat — a seven-wicket hammering at the hands of Punjab Kings — as the five-time champions slumped to their fourth loss in five matches and remained at ninth in the IPL 2026 points table. Despite a commanding unbeaten 112 from Quinton de Kock powering MI to 195/6, PBKS made light work of the chase, reaching 198/3 in just 16. 3 overs to extend their unbeaten run and move to the top of the standings with nine points.
‘We need to go back on the drawing board’ Speaking after the defeat, Pandya did not hide his frustration as MI’s struggles deepened. “To be very honest, I don’t have much to say right now. I think we really need to go back on the drawing board and see where we are lacking.
Is it individuals? Is it as a group? Is it planning?
